Luckgender
Luckgender is a xenogender originally coined by aerith as being exclusively for neurodivergent individuals that identify with the concept and symbolism of luck (both good and bad luck).[1]
It was also coined by osoostn as a xenogender that:
...can represent a connection to possibility, chances, and the fluidity of luck. It encompasses any and all individuals regardless of presentation. Luckgender is also typically portrayed with varieties of green and clovers, although can connect to any symbols of luck depending on the individual.[2]

Flags and Symbols
Luckgender flags and symbols often use the color green, deriving from the pigment of four-leaf clovers.[3]
The first known flag was created by aerith, shared via a carrd.[1] The flag features seven bands of varying shades of green, the bands representing: connection to nature; connection to the supernatural; connection to chance and the universe; belief in one's own luck; connection to the superstitious; connection to lucky symbols; connection to the fluidity of luck.[4]
The second luckgender flag was created on June 28th, 2021 by Tumblr user stinkylittleanon. The lighter green was chosen to represent luck, and the darker green representing destiny and the supernatural.[5]
The third flag (the flag shown at the top of the page) was created on February 13th, 2024 by Instagram users osoostn and terrortorn. The shades of green represent luck, possibility, chance, and the fluidity of luck. The clover represents lucky symbols and a connection to nature. The light center references the use of white in flags to recognize gender outside of the binary, and to express that any individual can define themselves under the luckgender flag regardless of their own gender presentation.[2]
